Free Music Review: The story of Martins Bach
Hit: 4 Stars

I agree with Mr. Gregory N Brylski's (first reviewer of the record on this page) review so far the first recording of the Well Tempered Clavier (WTC) by Martins is concerned (Sync, but also released by "The Classics Record Library" as a 7LP-Set in 1965): The 1965 version is quite inventive, sounds somehow fresher than the 1983 version. It is indeed very sad that this older version hasn't been released on CD yet.
But the 1983 version on Concord has its qualities. In my knowledge, Martins 1983 is one of the rare recordings of the WTC to have such a precise and clear mid-register. Martins did succeed (and few pianists did) in bringing the middle-voice to clarity. This brings a very rich and clear text, specially in the fugues.
